Dinant, Daughter of the Meuse

Dinant stretches out over a cliff and a river, deserving its title of "Daughter of the Meuse".

The birth city of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone (don't miss The House of Mr Sax), is literally boxed in between the Meuse and the rocks, giving it a genuine picturesque character.

In the past, the city could only be reached by boat: on one side of the city, the famous Bayard rock hung over the water and completely blocked the riverside, and on the other side of the city there was a leper-house.
